Ok, no flames please, but I got to thinking (a dangerous pastime, I know).

I was watching the movie Blade Runner tonight (in a rather alcohol
influenced state, regrettably) and I got to wondering.

In the world of Shadowrun, cloning a person is no big deal (they have to
do it for any meat replacement). Furthermore, it is completely possible
to do genetic manipulations of a clone's DNA (thus producing bioware).

Now, to get an argument of a different vein flowing, would it be possible
in the world of Shadowrun, to produce REPLICANTS?

No arguments about game balance, that isn't the point. The question is,
can it be done, and if so, how? Lets talk theoretical for a bit and
mentally masterbate on the subject and see what we come up with. :-)
